Thinner than a super model

Getting somewhat closer with this thing. Crux is cruxy however...

One hang - I just hope all the holds stay stuck on long enough for me to lead this! It is one savage piece of old school crimping. After two burns on this my fingers need two days off at least.

Some good links today. Just need to get this in a oner on the mini-t. Although I don't know how I will clip the second last bolt?!!?

Good links on the mini traxion

Nice clean lap of this. The crux on this is right at my limit!

Third bolt is very tricky to clip. Also picked the worst time of day to try this - as it was getting the full blast of westerly sun, whilst every other part of the crag was cool.

training laps

Five really close tries, all falling off the last move. Frustrating but also heartening progress.

Pretty cool moves but need to watch for crumbling feet and brush the holds for 10 mins to get rid of sand

Honestly super sick, little bit high, little bit dodgy, little bit sandy, sweet moves.

Damn

The best climb here! Funky

its not 25

bouldery crux..easier if your 6ft+

with sandy

Found the moves now just have to put them together next time

hot. hot. hot. not today. Great climbing!

short and sweet, just got to keep moving

Smooth slopers to thin and crimpy!!

Would be harder for the vertically challenged

2nd shot, bit soft but AWESOME route

Ahh, this was a hard climb, couldn't do the move after the third clip but great topout!!

Very cool and by far the best in this style on the Beaches. Hopefully get it next time when it isn't 35 degrees, 100% humidity and raining.

Siiiiic climb, best crimps around

Oh boy... Very crimpy. Eventually got it on top rope but did the last move 20 times before I got it. Just... Could... Not... Reach... Will be honest here, unlikely to be able to do this leading... For now.

getting closer...

grrr, those last few moves

crimp

youch

Got schooled, some desperate moves and clips. Watch that second clip. Gave up after it came into the sun around midday.

Short and punchy. More like a 6m boulder really - 21 ramble into a tricky v3. A true onsight would be tricky indeed, but easily 2nd shot.

seriously close with this now.

1st time back on it since finger injury. Did the crux x2, but have lost a lot of stamina

Back to back laps. This is feeling a bit easier now!

This is harder for shorties now the undercling snapped off.

Did the crux again which is now stiffer since the loss of a hold a couple of years ago. I'd personally say that this feels more like 26 now.

First time in a while I've been able to do all the moves on this. It's harder than it used to be since the undercling broke off a couple of years ago.

Went third try today. Crimps are not my strength so it felt good to put this to bed.

Was not up to the crux this day, had to pull on the draw after failing with many different desperate betas

cool crimpy moves. kinda goes until last move

Not really worth it.

Difficult lead due to insufficient holds. Protection is okay.

Unable to reach what appears to be good holds near the top
